Genevieve G: I find the color saturation and extreme matte finish to be best look for me for photography. Matte doesn't mean flat with YSL. YSL is still the best for color in all categories.Nov 5, 2014

Beverley A: It is the perfect light liner that is sublte and compliments every color of lipstick that I have paired it with. It does not smudge and goes on really easy. Love the color and I love the product.Jan 8, 2014

Victoria S: I was told at Bloomingdales in CA that this pencil in natural is a perfect lip enhancer shade. She sells it often with an array of shades. I plan to draw the mauve out of it. Luckily your phone help steered me from the plum which sounds like it would be too 70s dark for lip couture #26 with gloss #47.Nov 22, 2012

I have these in four colors: Fuschia, a wearable, not too bright or dark berry, as opposed to hot pink. Gorgeous. Natural , which is like your own lips amped up a bit. Not as neutral or dusky as the name suggests. This one is my HG. Cognac, another HG, is a carmelly orangish light brown, stunning. And lastly, Rose, a lighter than your lips delicate peachy-pink. I use this one rarely, as it is too light for me.
I love how these go on. Not too creamy, not too dry. They stay put nicely and are just SO user friendly that I hope they never discontinue. I enjoy the colors and will continue to buy more. I think I'll try Wine next.
